Easy 2-track Recording

The Zoom M2 MicTrak makes field recording as easy as 1-2-3. This 2-channel portable recorder boasts a new capsule design and captures a variety of sources with stunning 32-bit float/96kHz quality. The M2 includes a unique handheld design that effectively reduces handling noise, and it includes a built-in X/Y mic, mono speaker, and an easy-to-read LCD screen. You also get a mono mode for ENG applications and an onboard normalization function for producing top-notch audio right on the spot. What's more, the M2 can function as a USB microphone, and you can use it as a USB microphone and a 2-channel SD recorder simultaneously. Complete with 11 hours of battery life, the M2 MicTrak allows musicians, podcasters, and content creators to capture incredible-sounding recordings in a single take.

Captures great-sounding audio in one take

With the M2 MicTrak, one take is all you'll need. This portable recorder's 32-bit float capture ensures clip-free audio without worrying about gain settings. Its built-in X/Y mic offers excellent sound, while its unique handheld design minimizes handling noise. Whatever you record, the M2 guarantees crisp, clear results.

Produces pro-level recordings anywhere

The Zoom M2 MicTrak includes stereo and mono recording modes. Stereo yields expansive music recordings, while mono is ideal for interviews and dialog. The M2's onboard normalization function optimizes the volume of your recording, saving you time and streamlining the editing process. We're huge fans of the M2's easy-to-read LCD screen here at Sweetwater, as its real-time waveform display makes keeping an eye on your recording a piece of cake. Beyond that, this portable recorder's headphone output and onboard mono speaker make quick referencing a breeze — even out in the field. To top it off, you get 11 hours of battery life, secured with a reliable sturdy lock-system, ensuring that the M2 is ready to record whenever you need it.

Versatile operation

You can use the M2 MicTrak as a standalone 2-track recorder, or you can connect it to your PC, Mac, or iOS or Android device and use it as a USB microphone. What's more, you can deploy the M2 as a USB mic and record to an SD card — simultaneously. This ingenious device comes with a windscreen, plus a mic clip for rock-solid stand mounting.

Rated 5/5

Outstanding! Just One Major (Easily Fixable) Flaw

I'm in love with Zoom's line of 32-bit recorders. The ability to record without worrying about gain is just amazing. Go anywhere, record anything, and you can be safe knowing the slightest whisper is still picked up, and the loudest scream is still in range. You still have to practice good placement, room treatment, etc. But not worrying about gain leaves you with one fewer critical error you could potentially make.

Not only that, but the mic is actually excellent. In mono mode it sounds a lot like a Shure SM58, and the ability to go stereo is just icing on the cake. The MAJOR FLAW to which I refer is the garbage fabric cover included with the M2 and M4 recorders (I own both). They significantly alter the beautiful sound of the onboard mic, reducing high frequences, and almost destroying low frequencies completely. It's awful. Fortunately, most generic "handheld mic foam cover" products will fit this just fine. I ordered a number of different options on Amazon to test (didn't find any here on Sweetwater); I think the ones from a brand called Mudder did the trick just fine. You get to keep the very nice sound of the onboard mic, and it actually does much BETTER than the garbage fabric cover and reducing wind and plosive noises. If you get the M4, you'll have to get a wider cover; I ordered a foam cover meant to fit the Zoom H1n, and it fit the M4 perfectly, albiet with a bit of stretching to get it all the way on.

In any event, these are fantastic mics, lovely handling and ergonomics, even better sound, and very convenient for any kind of recording. I do wish they'd make a metal-bodied version to really make it a professional long-life product. The plastic seems like it might not take a drop too well, or too often. But for the price, this is an outstanding bit of kit.
